Linn LP12......That good??

Not only did Wyman play it as if it was an acoustic (vertical), but contrary to popular lore and Jaco's own claim of being the inventor of the fretless he actually played a fretless on some early Stones recordings.  Jaco, of course, was the one who really popularized the fretless; amazing player.  

Love the LP12, btw.  Owned one years ago (TNT6 currently) and agree that properly setup it is an excellent table.  

There is one guy who plays a fretted electric and makes it sound like a stand-up: Joey Spampinato of NRBQ. And, he does it with a cheap Danelectro! Joey can be seen and heard playing in Keith Richard’s documentary on Chuck Berry, "Hail Hail Rock ’n’ Roll". Great, great bass player (Keith offered Joey the job of replacing Bill Wyman when Bill left The Stones, and was turned down. NRBQ was a far, far better band than The Stones), one of the three best I’ve seen live, the other two being Rick Danko of The Band and John Entwistle (by far the best musician in The Who).

there are some great deals are reference VPI Avengers on Audiomart.   I've always been a VPI fan and the Avengers can accommodate any tonearm you'd want to use in the future.  the HRX is a massive table and takes up a lot of space.
